"We was comin' home an' I took Kitty into that Red Star drug-store for to get her some ice cream. Well, right after that I heerd a man say how the lady had fainted—"
"What lady?"
"The lady in the machine."
"Were you in the drug-store?"
"No. We'd jes' come out when this here automobile drew up an' a man jumped out hollerin' the lady had fainted and would I bring a glass o' water from the drugstore. 'Course I got a jump on me and Kitty she moved up closeter to the car to he'p if she could. When I got back to the walk with the water the man was hoppin' into the car. It was already movin'. He' slammed the door shut and it went up the street like greased lightnin'."
"Was it a closed car?"
"Uh-huh."
"Can you describe it?"
"Why, I dunno—"
"Was it black, brown, white?"
